Setwise intersecting families of permutations

چکیده
A family of permutations A ⊂ Sn is said to be t-set-intersecting if for any two permutations σ, π ∈ A, there exists a t-set x whose image is the same under both permutations, i.e. σ(x) = π(x). We prove that if n is sufficiently large depending on t, the largest t-set-intersecting families of permutations in Sn are cosets of stabilizers of t-sets. The t = 2 case of this was conjectured by János Körner. It can be seen as a variant of the Deza-Frankl conjecture, proved in [6]. Our proof uses similar techniques to those of [6], namely, eigenvalue methods, together with the representation theory of the symmetric group, but the combinatorial part of the proof is harder.

Intersecting families of permutations and partial permutations
The above result motivated the study of intersecting families of permutations which was initiated by Deza and Frankl, see [2]. Let Sn be the symmetric group on [n], that is the group of all permutations of [n]. For a positive integer t, a subset A of Sn is said to be t-intersecting if, for any g, h ∈ A with g 6= h, we have |{x : g(x) = h(x)}| ≥ t. By an intersecting family, we mean an 1-interse...
متن کاملCross-Intersecting Families of Partial Permutations
For positive integers r and n with r ≤ n, let Pn,r be the family of all sets {(x1, y1), ..., (xr, yr)} such that x1, ..., xr are distinct elements of [n] := {1, ..., n} and y1, ..., yr are also distinct elements of [n]. Pn,n describes permutations of [n]. For r < n, Pn,r describes r-partial permutations of [n]. Families A1, ...,Ak of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if, for any distinct i...
متن کاملThe Typical Structure of Intersecting Families
When t = 1, we simply say that the family is intersecting. Consider the following example. Fix a t-set, say I ⊆ [n], and values {xi : i ∈ I}. If for every σ ∈ F and i ∈ I σ(i) = xi, then F is clearly t-intersecting. Furthermore, we say that F is a trivial t-intersecting family of permutations. Note that the size of this family is at most (n − t)!. Ellis, Friedgut, and Pilpel [5] show that for n...

For positive integers r and n with r ≤ n, let Pr,n be the family of all sets {(1, y1), (2, y2), ..., (r, yr)} such that y1, y2, ..., yr are distinct elements of [n] = {1, 2, ..., n}. Pn,n describes permutations of [n]. For r < n, Pr,n describes permutations of relement subsets of [n]. Families A1,A2, ...,Ak of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if, for any distinct i and j in [k], any set i...
متن کاملIntersecting families of discrete structures are typically trivial
The study of intersecting structures is central to extremal combinatorics. A family of permutations F ⊂ Sn is t-intersecting if any two permutations in F agree on some t indices, and is trivial if all permutations in F agree on the same t indices. A k-uniform hypergraph is tintersecting if any two of its edges have t vertices in common, and trivial if all its edges share the same t vertices. Th...
